Zig¶
Since v2.5.
This feature is currently in alpha. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
You can now build Zig binaries using zig build
and GoReleaser!
Simply set the builder
to zig
, for instance:
builds:
# You can have multiple builds defined as a yaml list
- #
# ID of the build.
#
# Default: Project directory name.
id: "my-build"
# Use zig.
builder: zig
# Binary name.
# Can be a path (e.g. `bin/app`) to wrap the binary in a directory.
#
# Default: Project directory name.
binary: program
# List of targets to be built, in Zig's format.
# Default: [ "x86_64-linux", "x86_64-macos", "x86_64-windows", "aarch64-linux", "aarch64-macos" ]
targets:
- aarch64-macos
- x86_64-linux-gnu
# Path to project's (sub)directory containing the code.
# This is the working directory for the Zig build command(s).
#
# Default: '.'.
dir: my-app
# Set a specific zig binary to use when building.
# It is safe to ignore this option in most cases.
#
# Default: "zig".
# Templates: allowed.
tool: "zig-nightly"
# Sets the command to run to build.
# Can be useful if you want to build tests, for example,
# in which case you can set this to "test".
# It is safe to ignore this option in most cases.
#
# Default: build.
command: not-build
# Custom flags.
#
# Templates: allowed.
# Default: "-Doptimize=ReleaseSafe".
flags:
- --release
# Custom environment variables to be set during the builds.
# Invalid environment variables will be ignored.
#
# Default: os.Environ() ++ env config section.
# Templates: allowed.
env:
- FOO=bar
# Hooks can be used to customize the final binary,
# for example, to run generators.
#
# Templates: allowed.
hooks:
pre: ./foo.sh
post: ./script.sh {{ .Path }}
# If true, skip the build.
# Useful for library projects.
skip: false
Some options are not supported yet1, but it should be usable at least for simple projects already!

Environment setup¶
GoReleaser will not install Zig or any other dependencies on which your workflow depends. Make sure to install them before running GoReleaser.
Caveats¶
GoReleaser will translate Zig's Os/Arch pair into a GOOS/GOARCH pair, so templates should work the same as before. The original target name is available in templates as .Target
, and so is the ABI as .Abi
.

GoReleaser will error if you try to use them. Give it a try with
goreleaser r --snapshot --clean
